A little bit about me

I love kids and want them to feel safe. I like to play and have fun. I love how honest kids are. I'm real easy going and laugh a lot. Kids are usually very drawn to me. Even infants can feel a calm person is holding them and not someone who is stressed out all of the time. Little kids are sometimes a better judge of character over an adult. When they learn how to talk they're some of the funniest comedians alive. They might be little, but if you pay attention they'll usually let you know what they need. My experience with teens is driving, feeding, taken to sports, watching them to stay safe (autistic) and being someone they can talk to. All ages of kids have different needs and things they might want to talk about or do. For some ages, they might be too old for a sitter but still need to know an adult is there for whatever they might need once they're comfortable.

More About Me

Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...

I babysat a lot when I was in junior high through high school. When I was 16 years old we adopted my little brother. I packed him around all of the time. I used to have a daycare of 8 kids. I was also a SCAN (Suspected Child Abuse and Neglect) Volunteer. My longest nanny position was for 5 years. I'm a mom and grandma too. I was a nanny for a 12 year old girl and 10 year old autistic boy. Im a part-time evening nanny now for an autistic 6 year old who doesnt speak. I worked at a treatment outpatient center where we had a youth group and at Juvenile Probation where we dealt with kids at risk.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

Swimming, talking, laughing, watching videos, reading, going for walks, learning new things and playing etc.

The most important part about being a nanny...

Making sure the child is protected and feels safe with me when mom and dad are gone. I want them to feel okay that their parent(s) are leaving and excited to see me. ********** I wanted to add how important date night is. Even if Im not your nanny, Im more than happy to fill in on date night. Life isn't totally about work and kids. Your time ❤️ together is very important too. **********

My experience with special needs children...

I've had 3 autistic kids under my care. One was 7 years old. He had a lot of anger issues. His sister was 9 years old and teased him a lot. It definitely took time but the big sister got much better which helped her brother as well and he was a way happier, funny, cheerful little guy once he could feel that I cared for him and his happiness. He'd be jumping up and down at the door when I'd arrive. He was a real sweet heart. ĺ have a little cutie now who's autistic and doesn't speak, but he will give me big hugs and sit on my lap sometimes and he's saying a lot by doing that. He's a gentle little soul inside.. I've had 2 others who didnt speak.

The most important part about being a nanny...

When my autistic child ran up and hugged me and said I love you!😊
